Arika Lee Hall was 22 and living in Canton, Ohio, when she was last seen in February 2016. Her mother last saw her on Smith Avenue SW. The day before she disappeared Arika was reportedly assaulted by a boyfriend, and on the day she vanished she was seen getting into a car with an unidentified man. She has not been heard from since, which family say is out of character.

Arika’s life before she went missing included struggles after her father’s death when she was 15, leading to heroin use and several arrests for drug- and theft-related offenses. Distinguishing marks include two moles on her right back, a scar on her right elbow, and a tattoo on her left hip reading Captain James Marty Hall with angel wings. She failed to appear for a court date after she disappeared and a warrant was issued.

Authorities say the investigation has produced few solid leads and that Arika is considered in serious danger because of her high-risk lifestyle at the time she vanished. If anyone saw Arika around February 2016 or knows who the unidentified man might be, please contact the Canton Police Department.
